About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is an LPC with 24 years of clinical experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help clients untangle complicated emotions, build practical coping strategies, and explore patterns that affect self-esteem, communication, and connection. Her style blends empathic listening with structured approaches so clients can both feel heard and make measurable progress.

Christianne uses tools from Internal Family Systems alongside acceptance-based and cognitive methods to support emotion regulation, attachment concerns, and shifts in behavior. She emphasizes collaboration and helps clients identify values-driven goals while addressing everyday stressors like career strain, caregiver fatigue, and coping after loss.

Based in Wisconsin, Christianne offers flexible remote session formats and works in English. Her practice also addresses a broad array of focused topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, blended family challenges, and body image.

The aim is practical growth grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience.

How her clinical approaches translate to online therapy

Christianne integrates Internal Family Systems into online work by helping clients notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity and compassion; this can assist with shame, self-criticism, trauma responses, and patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to experience difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on exploring relational patterns and improving emotional connection, which can help with attachment issues, communication problems, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to assess needs, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies over time so the work stays practical and relevant to goals and daily life.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options offer flexibility for different comfort levels and communication styles, allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, evidence-informed care from wherever clients are located within the service area.
